Rizzle Kicks: Roaring 20s

Share via

The second LP from the Brighton hip-hop duo is a concept album that imagines
the 20th century as a person, and equates the hedonism of the Twenties with,
erm, the hedonism of one’s twenties. Don’t worry: it isn’t full of
Charleston-rap fusions, Rizzle Kicks’ sound is much the same: engaging
rhymes, falsetto soul, insouciant bras and bouncy beats. The actor Dominic
West does pop up on the Fatboy Slim-produced Put Your Twos Up,
playing a plummy MC who exhorts his guests to “Raise you glasses and shake
your asses”. Great fun.
